A Line Allows Progress, A Circle Does Not

Sitting 'round, no work today
 Try pacing to keep awake
 Laying around, no school today
 Just drink until the clock has circled all the way
 ♪
 It's late afternoon
 As you walk through the rooms of a house that is quiet
 Except for unanswered telephones
 You stand near the sink, you mix up a drink
 You think you don't wanna pass out
 Where your roommates could find you again
 Stumble 'round the neighboorhod, nothing to do
 You're always looking for something
 To sniff smoke or swallow
 Calling over next door, see what they've got
 But you'd settle for anything that'd make your brain slow down
 Or stop this circle of thoughts you chase
 Before they catch back up with you
 And your parents noticed your thinning face
 All the weight you've lost, all the weight you're losing
 You said, "I'm done feeling like a skeleton
 No more sleep walking dead"
 You're gonna wake from this coma
 You're going to crawl from this bed you've made
 Stop counting on the camera that hangs around your neck
 'Cause it will never remember what you choose to forget
 As you try to find one source of light, try to name one thing you like
 You used to have such a longer list
 Light, you never had to look for it
 But now it's so easy, it's so easy to
 So easy, it's so easy to second guess everything you do
 Until all you want, all you want is to
 Finish this half empty glass
 Before the ice all melts away
 This feeling always used to pass
 Seems like it's every day
 Seems like it's every night now
